Note that, even in real life, ship size and "class" name are only tangentially linked. Also, ship "class" is relative to other ships of the time. So what qualifies as a "Destroyer" will depend on how large ships in your universe are. In some universes a 1000 foot ship may be a Destroyer, in others they may be 2 miles long.
